articleThe Brief Two helicopter pilots were killed while fighting a wildfire in Utah. Officials confirmed Saturday that two helicopter pilots were killed in a crash while battling a wildfire in Utah. The pilots were killed when their Sikorsky Skycrane helicopter went down Friday morning, according to the Sevier County Sheriff. The crash ignited a new fire that spread to connect with the existing blaze, which has now scorched nearly 174 square miles. Meanwhile in Oregon, hot and dry conditions helped an uncontrolled fire spread beyond 30 square miles (77.7 square kilometers).
